If you can manage... going rebuildable is definitely best imho. Pre-made coils and shoelace cotton might ease the transition. Cheaper and better vape quality too, if you ask me.

However... not going back to smoking IS the most important thing. So you want to keep a good stock coil system around and ready to go... for those days where you don't want do ANYTHING and just need a nice vape.

I like the Zenith Pro quite a bit. The 1.6 ohms are great for MTL, the 1.2 are even better imho.
One Caveat... they don't do salt nic at all... from my experience... 10 ml later and they get a burny taste, even if using clean not overly sweet juice.
The one ohm coils are not suitable for MTL. They are designed for a restricted DTL on the Zenith pro. I like them quite a bit. 22W, airflow wide open... really nice... good coil life too.

The Nautilus tanks are your other option. The AIO ones if you do salt nic, 1.6 are fine for general MTL, 0.7
good for high powered MTL or a nice restricted DTL. The new nautilus GT tanks look killer as well, i think.

PS: I´m flabbergasted that the clerk recommended you a fireluke... wt*...
this is at the opposite end of the vape spectrum... a really open draw cloudy sub-ohm-tank. Imo that guy should find a new job... not qualified.

safe distance from a black hole
I have thought about that for sure just nervous about trying. I can watch all the videos in the world but cant learn squat....i have to have it in my hand. I also have zero knowledge of ohms and all that. I reckon with the upcoming vapepocolypse i need to get on it though.i do not want to go back to smoking. I have started making my own juice and actually like mine so much better than what i have bought so far
You can do it, no problem, no problem what so ever.
Find a rta that seems like it might meet your needs as far as airflow. It might take you a few practice runs with the wicking to get it right, it might even frustrate you for a little while, if you let it. But after a few re-wickings and a few re-coils you will find your way with it and wonder why you were nervous about it.
While you are playing around with the rta you will still have your other tanks to keep you going.
I still use my zenith and nautilus tanks as well as smok nords but they never quite match the quality of vape that I get from rta's. The cost of making your own coils and wicking is almost laughably cheap and there is little worry of not being able to buy the wire and wick in the future.

Good luck.

One more thing... picking up on what Mordecai said.... The Brunhilde MTL RDTA is one heck of a tank... very easy to build and the flavor is really good imho. OK... it is tall... but sexy... if you ask me.

Also... i reread the thread... you are vaping with the airflow wide open on the Zenith pro.... are you sure you are doing MTL? Might just turn the power up a notch... i don't think the 1 ohm coils have bad flavor.
The 0.7 Nautilus mesh coils might be your best bet though. They are stellar for a restricted DTL.

The more i read around it looks like i am probably right in between mtl and dtl....restricted dl maybe? I honestly dont know other than that one crazy tank i bought chokes me plum to death.

If i hadnt started out with the boost, i would probably be completely content with the 1.0 coils on the zenith pro but since i am using them both daily, the flavor comparison is really noticable to me. I probably shouldnt have but i threw more money into my quest today and bought way too much stuff...looks like just about everything that was mentioned in this thread ( boost plus, Brunhilde and various coils for my zenith pros...and more nic from vaper tek.)
Good lord this is an expensive habit y'all lol

and more nic from vaper tek.

:shock:
FYI: If I may be so bold to suggest - IMHO - for future purchases of NIC, really good vendor at reasonable prices is "Heartland Vapes":

Nicotine Liquid - Vegetable Glycerin - Flavorings -Wholesale and DIY Heartlandvapes Wholesale

Checked Vaper Tek and for what they sell this 1 Litter of 100mg NIC ($78+) Ya' could get almost 2 litters ($44.+) at Heartland, especially when they have a sale or if Ya' purchase 4 Litters at the same time they lower the price ($42.+) and get Free shipping:

Nicotine Solution - 100mg Liter

Since there is Free Shipping when you spend more then $50, might as well get a few Boston Style Bottles - Really Good Prices for the Bottles to recant & Freeze the NIC you purchase too . . . ;)

8oz Bottles Without caps:
8oz Amber Glass Bottle

8oz Bottle Caps:
Phenolic Cone Cap - 8oz (28mm)

Purchase separately - Less expensive . . . :thumbs:

Also keep your eyes open for even more sales here:

Bargain Bin Treasures!

Are you done stocking up?


Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I have since bought an aegis solo with 2 zenith pro tanks along with the 1.0 coils. The flavor is muted compared to the boost and the draw just isnt right.i have tried adjusted the airflow every way possible i am just not satisfied with it at all....which led me to go to my local vape shop..

    I am a big fan of Zenith/Zlide tanks. My favorite tank is the 4 ml Zlide. I never got the Zenith Pro because it seemed too big for me. I've had most luck with 0.8, 1.6 and also 1.2Ω coils. I tried the .5 .45Ω plexus coils but didn't care for them--too aggressive anf too hot for my loose MTL vaping style.
